STEIN HOISTING

Rahr & Sons is bringing a time honored Oktoberfest tradition to the brewery with the traditional Oktoberfest Stein Hoisting Competition. We will randomly select six (6) girls and six (6) guys from the crowd to participate in the competition.

Steins Up: Participants must hold their stein, with one arm only, perfectly straight out in front of them, parallel to the floor.

Sipping and Spilling: Once a participant starts to spill, or drops or bends their arm — they're out.

The girl and guy that can hold their stein the longest without spilling will receive a free entry into next year's Rahr Oktoberfest 5K, a $25 gift card to the Rahr & Sons Gift Shop, and get to keep their steins. All other contestants will get to keep their steins as well.

Chrono Track Timing

Disposable timing tags will be used at this event. Age group awards will be determined by tag time.
